Sota Tachibana
A multi-talented freeter who ends up the manager of his sister's college volleyball team... and the object of their affections.

Houkei University Girls' Volleyball Team
Kaoru Tachibana
Sota's big sister, who ends up dragging him into being the team's acting manager.
- Brother–Sister Incest: Constantly struggling with her attraction towards her younger brother.
- Pointless Bandaid: She always has one on her nose.
Ayano Hasegawa
A dark-haired girl on whom Sota had a rather strong crush when he was younger.
- All Women Are Lustful: While all the girls (except Kaoru), enjoy banging Shouta when they have the chance, Ayano is easily the most horny.
- Friendly Rivalry: She used to be Kaoru's rival back in high school and they get along well, even if Kaoru gets annoyed at Ayano's shamelessness.
- Lovable Sex Maniac: She's got sex on the brain 24/7, much to everyone's chagrin. However, they still care about her as a friend and vice-versa.
Sakura Asakura
An eccentric and nerdy girl who's always chiming in with obscure facts.
- Bespectacled Cutie: Much is made of the fact she's the only member of the team who wears glasses.
- Cloudcuckoolander: She's prone to weird behavior, but it's mostly an act to draw attention away from being abnormally tall.
- Girlish Pigtails: Her most common hairstyle, which goes well with her eccentricities.
- Repetitive Name: Sakura Asakura.
- Verbal Tic: One of her eccentric behaviors is appending things like "-poro" and "-zamas" to her sentences.
Kyoka Teshigawara
A serious girl who's secretly rather insecure about her body.
- A-Cup Angst: It's revealed in chapter 6 she's actually wearing pads and is downright flat-chested, something she's deeply insecure about.
- Bifauxnen: After some "help" from Sota getting over her insecurity, she decides to get a makeover with short, boyish hair and play up her androgynous looks.
Julia McKenzie
An exchange student from the United States.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Yes, she's quite ditzy, but also an excellent volleyball and basketball player when she actually tries.
- Dumb Blonde: She has light-colored hair and is something of a ditz.
- Foreign Fanservice: She's an American exchange student who's even bustier than Ayano.
- Gorgeous Gaijin: American and tends to dress very skimpily.
Sanae Yamada
Captain of the volleyball team, and also the only girl who isn't freakishly tall.
- Big Beautiful Woman: Even after gaining weight she's still cute, something Shouta notices.
- Temporary Bulk Change: She ends up gaining weight for roughly 30 chapters, becoming a Big Beautiful Woman. While it initially looks to be from stress eating over feeling Sota doesn't love her, after spending three days away from him but with her normal eating habits, she notices a drastic loss in weight, making her realize it's because she's stressing herself out over their relationship. Only after redefining her feelings for Sota and accepting he'll never love her the most but does love her does she slim back down.
